[QUOTE="Greenhornet_au, post: 446310, member: 8767"] I never had those issues to need to hide the antenna, the 9ft stainless whip off the back of the Torana hatchback with a 250W linear was a successful skip rig for me, then again I was not silly enough to use the linear around town bothering people, I reserved that for going fishing or going country/bush. Really miss those days, and I actually dont remember where the stainless whip went, hopefully I sold it and it wasnt stolen. LOL Might give this coax antenna a go if I find another 27mhz SSB radio, take it camping with the kids and look for some "skip" again, that would spin them out, maybe get a postcard from another user like in the old days. Actually spoke to the Aussie Antarctica base on one Christmas Eve, drifted in and out for about 15min. :perfect: ZELLO seems like a cop out to use for 'sudo' radio communication locally or internationally these days.
